ENGINE and WELL are the obvious ones, with WHALE being possible but unlikely.

Assuming we get two, do we go for the win or hope they don't connect 3?

I would go engine and well.

We can't go for the win on this turn because we have 4 words left right now. If we get the 2 for oil we have 1 left over and we are in the same situation between note and club. And even if we get that one right we still have one more to go and we are forced to pass.

Well, Tie-dye seems fairly obvious.

Tie


The other one, though...I’m not sure.

If we’re going to mess with homonyms, then DICE is a fairly obvious option, with CAST thrown in there too for the die-cast manufacturing method.

As for dye, though...without getting really REALLY esoteric about where the source of some dyes come from - is there a dye derived from cacao beans? Date palms? Idfk

Best guess is dice, but I don’t like to dick with homonyms if I don’t have to

I'm pretty sure chocolate is a color name, so I'd go with that.

Ugh

I don’t like any of those options.

Red has 5, needs 9
Blue has 6, needs 8

I think Pass is the right option? Charles needs another go at it anyway, this gives him a shot to tie the last two together in a way that excludes the wrong option. I mean, best case right now, we get it right and he gives us an obvious 1-clue.

I’d rather take the small risk inherent in passing.

We have 4 more words.

1 from price.
2 from well.

Target the one not associated yet and then infinity so we can guess the 3 we missed.
